Genotype-phenotype correlation in 1,507 families with congenital adrenal hyperplasia owing to 21-hydroxylase deficiency
Open accessAbstract
Over the last two decades, we have extensively studied the genetics of congenital adrenal hyperplasia caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CAH) and have performed 8,290 DNA analyses of the CYP21A2 gene on members of 4,857 families at risk for CAH—the largest cohort of CAH patients reported to date. Of the families studied, 1,507 had at least one member affected with one of three known forms of CAH, namely salt wasting, simple virilizing, or nonclassical CAH. Here, we report the genotype and phenotype of each affected patient, as well as the ethnic group and country of origin for each patient. We showed that 21 of 45 genotypes yielded a phenotypic correlation in our patient cohort. In particular, contrary to what is generally reported in the literature, we found that certain mutations, for example, the P30L, I2G, and I172N mutations, yielded different CAH phenotypes. In salt wasting and nonclassical CAH, a phenotype can be attributed to a genotype; however, in simple virilizing CAH, we observe wide phenotypic variability, particularly with the exon 4 I172N mutation. Finally, there was a high frequency of homozygous I2G and V281L mutations in Middle Eastern and Ashkenazi Jewish populations, respectively. By identifying the predominant phenotype for a given genotype, these findings should assist physicians in prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling of parents who are at risk for having a child with CAH.

“Several reports in European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Chinese populations confirmed a high frequency of the pathogenic IVS2-13A/C > G and found it to comprise 20 to 25% of the CYP21A2 mutant alleles and to translate to the most severe SW forms of the disease when inherited in homozygosity [1, 4, 27, 39–43].”

In the citing paper
“In European and North American population, where long-standing newborn screening programs facilitate early detection, large gene deletions and CYP21A1P/CYP21A2 chimeric conversions, predominantly associated with SW phenotypes, constitute 20-30% of pathogenic alleles (25, 28, 30, 31).”

“Nevertheless, population-based studies continue to reveal rare or population-specific alleles, highlighting the extensive allelic heterogeneity of 21-OHD and the necessity of using ethnically tailored genetic panels for accurate diagnosis and effective genetic counseling (5, 16, 19, 22, 28, 33–35).”

“Importantly, genotype-phenotype discordance in CAH reflects not only the primary CYP21A2 pathogenic variant but also allelic configuration (cis/trans), promoter strength, splicing efficiency, copy number variation, and extra-adrenal metabolism.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
